To'aJ/Z 4whoni, 'it may concern: y

Be it lknown that I, HENRY R. SCHWEIN- LER, a citizen ofthe United States of America, and a resident of New York, N. Y., have 1905, by William A. Heartt,.for improvement in vwindow stop, and contemplatesA broadly certain'im rovements in the mount- `ings or hardware o tilting Windows. 1.5

Generally stated, thel object of my invention is to slmpliythe construction shown in saidprior application, as, for. exam le, 'by dispensing' with the guardfor holdmg the sto -rod .1n the 'notch in the'stopbracket; to rovide'improved bearings-for 'the' tilting se f-c'losing window-sash.

To the foregoing and other Vuseful ends, my

` invention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and claimed. l

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is-v an inside view of a window having stopwindow-sto devices embodying the principles, of my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective of theJwindow-stop, showing the window closed. Fig. 3 is"v a side elevation of the and adjacent portion of the'. window. ig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the window o en. Fig'. 5 is a front view of the stopbrac et. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail section of one of the brass bushings lfor the pivots.

The window vmay be of any suitableknown or approved construction.

As shown, thesash A 'isv4 Vrovided with ,pivot-plates -B havingpivots. These-pivots are adapted to engage the sockets C in the .socket-plates c onthe window jam'b D. In

this way, the'axis ofthe sash is so disposed that the windowtends -to close lof its own weight.` Each socket-plate Vc is provided with a-stop-bracket E havinga-bearing por-` tion e twisted to an-angle, as shownin Fig.4 3,

and provided "with a. notchfe in its uppery edge.. p The pivot plates B, are provided with smalL bracketplates'F and the stop-rods G have eyesg which are swinginglysecured to wid- P "restandwork in the' notches-,ef of the bracketgplates E, andare each provided with ates F, Theselrods are adaptedvto l faces o v aweight or, shoulder g.` When Ithe window is closed, the rods hang down, as shown in;

limit the motion, as they are too large to pullthrough the notches e. lAt such time the" 'the weights or shoulders engage `the outer i inclined to. extend upwardly and outwardly; and as afmatter of further faces of the portions' e at points above the rods.. In other words, the under surface of each bearing portion -e is beveled or rovement, the

im degree of inclination is such tlliat said surface is oblique to' the'rod when "the window is open. In this way, the weights or enlargements g1. have a constant tendency to slide down instead of up, and the greater the pull on the rods,'the more firmly the rods bottom I' in the notches e. lThus there is no tendency on-the part of the rods to work up and out of v the notches. However, when the window is to be washed, the rodscan then b e swung laterally or lifted out ofthe notches, and the window can then be swung clear around. In

other words, each o ening e1 is adapted to permit the lateral dlsplacement or removal therefrom lof the rod allotted thereto, by

manually lifting said rod. u

Referring to Fig. 4, it 4willloe seen tha .the pivot-plate B is secured to the sheetmetal sash A by means of screws b', which extend through slotsb2 `in the plate B, and through the sheet-metal and into the clamping-plate b3. It will be l understood that this plate b3 can be secured inl any suitable manner, as, for example, by means of rivets, to the inner vsurface of the sheet-metal sash A, and that it can be provided with threaded sockets adapted to receive the threaded endportions of the short screws b.' With this arrangemengthe pivot-plate, provided with the integral pivot, b can be firmly and effect?? ively secured to the sheet-metal sash,'an'd\ j can, by reason of the-slots b2., be adjusted accurately with `respect `to the socket in which the l ner, the soc et-platec can be securedv to the sheet-metal frameD lby means of screws c vwhich extendthrough the plate' C, through the sheet-metal frame D and into a clampingplate c2 suitably secured to the inner surface ofjthesheet metal frame. It will begunder stood that this c lampin'geplate c2 may be secured-in 'any suita afmannerto the inner ivot turns.' In asimilar man-- foo- surface of the sheet-metal frame, and that screws c.

As a matter of still further andspecial improvement, the-socket C preferably conmanner shown more clearly in Fig. 6. This bushing is preferably of brass or some other non-corrosive metal, it being .remembered that the pivot b is preferably of cast iron. With this arrangement, the entire pivot and stop attachment of the window can be of cast or wrought iron, or other cheap metal, while the said bushing can be of brass or other suitable non-corrosive metal. With this arran ement, the pivot and its socket will not corrotfe, and will not have any tendency to endanger the effective closingof the window at any and all times. Thus, with the arrangement shown, the pivot and socket platesare easily and securely attached to a window having a sheet-metal construction, and 1n addition, the pivotal connections will not have any tendency to corrode` and there by interfere at any time with the proper and easy self closing of the window. Furthermore, with the arrangement shown, the pivot and socket plates lhave attached to them a swinging Weight and a notched stop, whereby the same are easily and conveniently attached to the window sash and frame.

It will be seen that the pivotal bearings-of the tilting window are arranged out of line with the Aself closing sasli,-tliat is to say,`

at a distance inside of the sash, whereby the weight of the sash tends to return it to its closed or normally vertical position. In other words, the axis upon which the window sash tilts is located at some distance away from the sash,- so that its weight tends to keep it in a vertical position.

The stop rod G can hang vertically when the window is closed. A

What I claim as my invention ist 1. The combination of a tilting window, pivot bearings providing a horizontal' axis for the swinging window sash, a stop-bracket secured to the window jamb, provided with a bearingA portion havinr a notch at its upper edge, disposed just below said axis, and a stop-rod swingingly secured to the windowsash and adapted to rest in .said notch, but adapted to hang vertically when the window 1s closed, the said rod provided with means for engaging the under surface of said-bean lng'portion, the said under surface beveled or inclined to extend upwardly and voutwardly, substantially as set forth.

2. Thecombination of a tilting window, pvot bearingsbproviding a horizontal axis or the swinging window sash, a stopebracket secured to the Window-jamb, provided with a bearing portion having a notch at its upper sists of al bushing set into the plate c in the the said bearing portion provided with an under surface beveled or inclined to extend upwardly and outwardly, substantially as set forth. t

The combination of a tiltingr window, pivot bearings providing a horizontal axis for the swinging window sash, a stop-bracket secured to the window-jamb, disposed just .below'said axis,l said bracket having un oblique bearing portieri provided at its upper edge with a notch, and a stop-rod swingiugly secured to the'window sash and adapted to rest in said notch, but adapted to hang vertically when the window is closed, the end of the rod provided with an enlargement or shoulder too large to pull through the notch, but the rod adapted to be swung up and out of the notch when it is desired to tilt the window beyond a predetermined point, said bearing portion having its under surface bcvelcd or inclined to extend upwardly and outwardly, said surface adapted to engage said shoulder or enlargement when the window is open and extending obliquely to the rod to keep the latter bottomed in the. notch, substanti ally as sot forth.

4. The combination of a tilting window,
